The Cabin is indeed cozy! Comfortable furnishings and you cannot beat the view and proximity to the water. Hobby and I were able to totally unwind in our short four night stay. So much so we plan to come back next year and bring the fam! (Just stay a couple doors down).

We loved our stay at this cozy little cabin. The cabin was small but was so cute and charming. Even though it was small there was plenty of room for us. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of cozy blankets and extra bedding. The cabin had plenty of dishes and utensils and we loved the large refrigerator. The table had an extra leaf that we discovered so that was nice. There were lots of nice thick towels and beach towels. The cabin had some nice board games/puzzles and even some toys for the little ones. We absolutely loved the views with amazing windows. It was so amazing to have coffee every morning on the front patio and listen to all the loons. The beach front was sandy and the water so warm and clean. WHAT AN AMAZING SPOT FOR SWIMMING! We all enjoyed it so much. My daughter swam all day and evening. The lake was a great lake for fishing; my daughter had so much fun catching many fish. Jack the owner was wonderful to communicate with! Very helpful and always got back to me quickly. Thank you so much for an amazing stay!! We will definitely book this place again.

We very much enjoyed our stay here as a family. The cabin was the perfect size for us and nicely updated - very comfortable beds and had all the supplies we needed. The beach was great too - such a nice sand area. The hosts were very kind and generous, you can tell they go out of their way to make the place just right for their guests. Definitely recommend and would love to come back!
